Abstract

The review considers the current state, possibilities, and perspectives of using interphase cytogenetics in the estimation of genomic mutations in human and animal somatic cells for aims of genetic toxicology and genetic instability analysis. Possible mechanisms underlying action of mutagens causing numeric chromosome aberrations are discussed.
